3.2 Function
The valve features the VATLOCK sealing technology. This means, the valve is mechani-
cally locked in the closed position. In the open position, the mechanism is not locked. Leaf
springs hold gate and counter-plate against the carriage with the ball retainers. The ball
pairs are in the detents. For closing, the mechanism is moved forward into the closing
position. The locking starts after the leaf spring stop touches the body. The ball retainers
move the ball pairs out of the detents. Gate and counter-plate are spread apart. The gate
seal is pressed against the sealing surface without scuffing. The arrangement of the ball
pairs ensures an increase of the sealing force with vacuum on either side of the gate.
During opening the movements proceed in the reverse order. See «Figure 3-2».

4.2.1 Admissible forces and bending moments
Forces from evacuating the system, from the weight of other components or
from baking can lead to deformation of the valve body and to malfunction of
the valve. The stress has to be relieved by suitable means, e.g. bellows
sections.
The following forces or moments are admissible:
